The Slave and the Master

The Master caressed Jack's face. "How does he enslave you so?"

"By setting me free," said Jack. He did not avoid the Master's touch. He was used to it now, a daily ordeal.

"He will never love you."

"It doesn't matter."

"Despite his cruelty?"

"Despite anything."

"Love me, and I will set you free."

"No."

"Love me, and I will set him free."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because he would hate it."

"I will kill you again."

"You will anyway."

"He loves me more than he will ever love you."

"I know," said Jack, and smiled.

The Master killed him again.
